The extension application was submitted more than three years after a claim of beneficial use, suggesting irregularities with development of the permit. Moreover, given declining flow levels on this important tributary in the lower John Day Basin, the "market and present demand" for water may have changed such that the application for extension of time should be denied. Further review of the application for extension of time is not possible because the application is not available through the WRIS. However, we will request a copy of the file and may provide additional comments at a later stage of processing.
